Dmmetler Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Are you legally considered a "non-public school teacher"? I'm working on my license renewal for my 10 year TN state license, and apparently it's different if you're a non-public school teacher vs just plain not teaching at the time. We homeschool through a CRS, so officially I am listed as faculty for the CRS and my home as a satellite location. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 It is going to depend on your state's requirements. In my state (CA) a certificated teacher who is homeschooling is considered a private tutor. If we choose that option, we have to abide by all the public school standards, course of study, standardized tests, etc. If we choose the private school option (online affidavit & no teaching cert required), we are on our own. So we go the private school route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 I'm not thinking on the homeschooling side, but on the "not letting my state license lapse, just in case I need it again" side-it appears that it's much, much easier to renew if you're a "Teacher for a non-public school" than if you're "Not teaching presently", and darn it-I AM teaching! So, I'm wondering if I could list the cover school we use as the non-public school, fill out the form for "Teacher in non-public school", list my current teaching assignment as 1st grade, and be done with it?
